Review- Catch.er (2017)

Image via filmhouseng.com
Abby Bello is a working class lady and the Vice President of a corporate company and during her anniversary celebration, she gets called into the office by her boss to go through a few errors found in the company's yearly report. When she gets back home, she encounters her colleague, Brume (Blossom Chukwujekwu), her brother Segun (Gbenro Ajibade) and her husband Tony (Alex Ekubo) and before the day ends, Abby is found dead in her home. The police launch an investigation into her death by arresting suspects that had motives for wanting her dead and it becomes a case of "whodunnit". Catch.er boasts of an ensemble cast and they all delivered in their respective roles especially O. C. Ukeje. He has come such a long way after winning the Amstel Malta Box Office in 2006 and I always look forward to seeing any movie he stars in. Alex Ekubo has also improved so much in his acting and I really have to commend him on that. Beverly Naya and and Blossom Chukwujekwu never disappoint so it's no surprise how fantastic they were in Catch.er.  Wofai Fada was a great comic relief and I'm really glad she's getting movie roles. Omowunmi Dada also plays her role as Ese so well, I wish we got more of her.

One thing I really loved about this film was the way it was filmed and how they captured so many angles. There were a lot of flashbacks but it flowed really well with the story, although I didn't really like the song that went the murder scene. I wish they picked something that sounded intense. It had a satisfying ending but I wish we got more of the killer to better understand why he committed the crime. It's not a perfect film but the little errors don't change the fact that it was good film that was worth every penny. I'm really glad, that Nollywood filmmakers are breaking the norm and exploring other genres. We need more movies like this in our Cinemas.

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
